Adele has confirmed she has recorded the theme for the forthcoming James Bond film, Skyfall.

She posted a picture of the song credits on her official Twitter page.

It comes after months of rumours and other people, aside from Adele, discussing it.

Traditionally, Sony Pictures, which distributes the Bond movies, and Eon Productions, the company in charge of Bond, issue a joint press release about who will be singing the theme song.

Sony has repeatedly declined to comment on speculation abut the theme.

Adele's photo appears to be the cover page of sheet music for the Skyfall theme.

It lists the composers as A(dele) Adkins and P(aul) Epworth - the producer and co-writer of her hit single Rolling In The Deep.

The music has been arranged by Epworth and film composer JAC Redford, whose credits include The Help, The Iron Lady and Wall-E.

Adele first hinted she would be working on the theme song during an interview on Jonathan Ross's chat show on ITV1 in September 2011.

"I'm going back in the studio in November, fingers crossed," Adele told Ross.

"Well this is actually a theme, what I've got to do for, um… Wow. That's really giving something away isn't it?"

Shortly after Adele's appearance on The Jonathan Ross show last September, her friend Tinie Tempah, said he'd spoken to Adele about her Bond recording.

Speaking at the Mercury Prize on 6 September, 2011, the rapper mentioned: "I was with her (Adele) yesterday, she was telling me about it and that's amazing."

He continued: "I've always wanted to do a Bond theme. I'm a bit jealous actually. No, let's leave it to her, it's always a really big diva that does it right?"

The 23rd Bond film, Skyfall, is due for release on 26 October, 2012.

a good choice

won't see the film though, Daniel Craig is easily the worst Bond ever

Shaun

Roger Moore <

Pierce Brosnan was the worst, though it wasnt his fault that the films at that point became basically adverts

Roy Mars III
01-10-2012, 02:48 PM
Pierce Brosnan was the best in my opinion

Tomorrow Never Dies is the best Bond movie by far

Shaun
01-10-2012, 03:24 PM
Sean > Pierce > Timothy > Daniel > George > Roger imo

Marc
01-10-2012, 03:26 PM
Roger will always be the best bond.

It'll be one to look forward to I think, It's probably gonna be more of a traditional Bond theme then the likes of the last few.

Just previewed it on DS. Very Bond-esque. Not sure about the actual song though. Maybe I expected too much, although I will have to wait until I can hear the track in full before I make any decisions about it.

Sounds great, its got a lot of hallmarks of a classic Bond theme, much better than the last theme

I don't really go for Bond themes, find the songs overdone usually. The only Bond theme I really like is You Only Live Twice.

Currently topping a lot of the Itunes Chart, is there any way she could reach number 1 by Sunday?

Marc

1D and Rihanna had already sold over 50k in the midweeks so I doubt it.

Skyfall is classic Adele and a classic sounding Bond theme.

Die Another Day though >

Aah.sorry Marc, I just find Bond themes overrated,most of the songs just okay to me.
I quite like Adele's but don't rate it as one of her strong efforts and I adore Adele.

I love Duran Duran too but oddly that one,the Bond theme is the one I least like of their work.
I love their songs like,Planet Earth, Hold Back the Rain, and Hungry like the Wolf and the album tracks too.

I don't really care though for Paul McCartney and Wings, Live and Let Die either.
I also really cannot bear Goldfinger,guess I have a mental block as to songs as Bond themes for some reason.

Slipping on iTunes now... Looks like she could miss out on getting #1 here

1 ADELE - Skyfall 1.0000
2 Swedish House Mafia - Don't You Worry Child (Radio Edit... 0.8500

Who's silly idea was it releasing on a friday? she's done a Born This Way

Marc

If she charts at No.1 this will be the first bond theme song to reach No.1 in the UK Charts
